Wow, I can't believe how some people's minds work. StopTheMadness - I sincerely hope that you never have someone go missing in your family. Your remarks aren't just arrogant, they are ignorant as well. Even IF this man decided to just walk away from his family, what business is it of your's and if it was your husband/father/brother/uncle, would you NOT want to find them? Do you treasure your family members that little that you would say 'I don't care'.

"So if he isn't wanted and he isn't mentally unstable there has to be a reason why the family would be concerned enough to ask the police for help." - Yes, because they LOVE him and are concerned about him. In case you hadn't noticed - bad things happen to good people all the time. I bet you'd be the type of person that would see a person/animal being abused and turn your head the other way. Not affecting you, is it?
